About Rebecca

Rebecca Hayes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of trauma or abuse. She also supports people as they cope with life changes and work through financial stress and money-related worries.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around practical goals and what the client wants to accomplish. Rebecca aims to build a collaborative working relationship and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Rebecca’s background includes seven years of hands-on practice supporting people with mood difficulties, panic, compulsions, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. She brings a steady, empathetic approach to conversations about guilt, shame, forgiveness, and impulsivity. She also helps people who feel isolated or are struggling to find purpose.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. She pays attention to communication and control problems that affect daily life. For someone facing a breakup, caregiver stress, or the strain of money and financial issues, she helps break big problems into small, doable actions.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target current problems and build practical skills. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people make small changes in how they react to stressors. Another approach centers on exposure and response prevention ideas for panic and compulsions, helping people gradually face feared situations and reduce avoidance over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca learns about a person’s goals, challenges, and preferences and then suggests ways of working that fit those needs. She adjusts methods as progress happens so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, and use a shorter check-in when that works better. Online work can also make it easier to practice strategies between sessions and to bring real-life problems into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
